Clan Meeting

A clan meeting is an event held in the Clan camp when a Clan leader convokes the Clan members to share important information with them.

Purpose
A clan meeting generally has one or more of the following purposes:
 * Announcing important events or sharing information.
 * Conduct a ceremony.
 * Telling the Clan about dangers.
 * Bring the Clan members together to discuss an important matter.

Procedure
It is the privilege of the Clan Leader to convoke a meeting. However, sometimes other Clan cats do it; for example if they feel that an important question or information must be brought to the Clan, or if the leader is not available.

To begin the meeting, the leader climbs to a high place (such as the Highstone in the Clan of Fire ) where all cats gathered below can see and hear them well. They open the meeting with a call specific to the Clan. Once they have the attention of all the cats, the leader passes the message or performs the ceremony.

Clan meetings have no fixed date. They may be called any time or when the leader feels it is necessary.
